31 Days of Halloween Music - Day 25

Continuing my annual tradition - today, marks day 25 of celebrating the fun of horror that comes with Halloween. Today, we - and by "we" - me and the voices in my head, plus the specters that haunt my home turn to one of our favorite singers Bruce Dickinson, former and current leader of the heavy metal juggernaut Iron Maiden. For nearly a decade Bruce ventured out on a solo career delivering five very different but very good solo albums. It was on his fourth solo effort "Accident of Birth" where he not only reunited with Roy Z and his band Tribe of Gypsies, but Dickinson was also rejoined by his former Iron Maiden band mate Adrian Smith. With the track "Ghost of Cain," we are taken on a journey of a spirit who is conjured to help restless souls finally find peace.

 Keeping in line with my added twist, I also offer original songs dressed up by other people, just like our own beings that don costumes for, normally, one night of the year (but we are all far from normal around here). Speaking of heavy metal juggernauts, Anthrax definitely fits into that category, and with this cover song, they proved not only strength in unity as this song features both of their lead singers Joey Belladonna and John Bush in a duet, but there is also strength in soul as they do an impressive and honorable cover of The Temptations' "Ball of Confusion."
